S 2584 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires employers whose employees are subject to contracts that are amendable and do not expire to provide earned sick leave.

S 2584 amends New Jersey's Earned Sick Leave Law to require employers to provide earned sick leave to employees covered by collective bargaining agreements that become "amendable" (rather than just those with fixed expiration dates). This directly affects workers under contracts governed by laws like the Railway Labor Act, where agreements remain in effect until amended. The bill ensures these employees gain sick leave benefits during the amendable period, not just after contract expiration. It preserves existing benefits in more favorable agreements and maintains collective bargaining rights, with the law taking effect immediately.
